Pump Choices in Chocolate and Confectionery Processing: Lobe/CP Pumps vs. Internal Gear Pumps 

Search Description

Unlike food processors who primarily use centrifugal pumps, chocolate and confectionery processors have two main preferences for handling viscous liquors, chocolates, sugars and other confectionery liquids: Rotary Lobe / Circumferential Piston (CP) pumps and Internal Gear Pumps. These Positive Displacement-type pumps are chosen due to various reasons. But which is best?

High Fructose Corn Syrup Pumping Solutions

High fructose corn syrup is a product of hydrolyzed corn starch and is made up of varying ratios of glucose and fructose. High fructose corn syrup has many desirable traits - including serving as a sweetener and humectant in baking applications. When baking breads, buns, rolls, and yeast raised donuts, it ferments directly without the need for sugar inversion - the chemical conversion of saccharose into glucose and fructose. The cast iron 1224A Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Barrier seal - which prevents leakage.
